The Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB) has appointed Jessica Hauuanga as its acting interim chief executive officer (CEO).
Hauuanga will temporarily replace former CEO Nangula Uaandja until the recruitment process is concluded.
Uaandja has led the NIPDB since its inception in 2021.
NIPDB spokeperson Catherine Shipushu says the board of directors has faith in Hauuanga’s capabilities to lead the NIPDB during this transitional phase of its growth and wishes her well in this role.
“We encourage all our stakeholders to extend the same support afforded to Nangula Uaandja in ensuring continuity and maintaining investor confidence,” she says.
The board of directors has extended their support to Uaandja as her tenure concludes on 31 December.
“On behalf of the entire NIPDB team, we extend our deepest appreciation to Dr Uaandja for her unwavering dedication to advancing Namibia’s economic development, for cultivating a resilient and excellence-driven team, and for establishing an institution that will continue to diligently serve investors and the Namibian nation at large.”
